There are some bits of this film that make you want to vomit. thats fine because most of the cast end up doing just that. There are parts of the film that make you want to cringe up into a little ball until the nastiness passes. Don't do it. watch the nipple ring sequence. watch the fight sequences. thrill to the lurid green projectile upchuck that somehow manages to reference 'The Exorcist' AND 'Indiana Jones and the temple of Doom' at the same time.
Just one thing to remember about this project: it does feel like a movie. this is not just an extra long 'Bottom' episode, it is a complete movie. the sets are actually very good, feeling like a location shoot rather than a soundstage, and there are some very funny squalid moments. The cast is very well put together, and even the young children are not annoying. The subtle humour of the Plant workers lock-in when one guy is clearly drinking from a ladies half pint glass, the sequence where Eddie packs his suitcase and the state of the kitchen.
The long opening with Eddie on the bike is for me though the weak point. it seems too long and almost to silly to laugh at. It ios eceptionally well filmed and edited, and the stunt sequences are fantastic. Technically Ade Edmundson has produced a very fine result. choreography and timing are worthy of Jackie chan, and in many places the script is two of Britains funniest actors/writers going full on to offend.
